Q10 Are they twins? Noooooo 
Clue: Some players like Pooley and Fleetwood-Smith and D'Oliveria knew what they were doing by messing with their age. but Hill and Sutcliffe had no idea.

Close enough, the birthday they gave, was in fact wrong but the year was right. When they saw their birth certificate they realised, would be a shock I should think.JASON said:Were they given wrong ages on debut ? (either due to not having birth certificates or mistakenly giving siblings birth certificates perhaps )
Your turn Jason
Question
He had Club feet and should not have even been in the Team, but he forced his way into it , and played with a runner !!
After the loss his Captain wrote ".........played very badly ... he should never have been in the XI had my counsel been taken."
His opposition sent the following message after his Team's loss "............................, Of cricket you've no knowledge. You play not cricket, but the fool, With men of ................"
To which he replied
"Ye ...... wits, to play the fool Is not the boast of ............; No wonder, then, at our defeat - Folly like yours could ne'er be beat."
This reply is hardly surprising given his later works -see below.
Who is this famous character ? What cricket match is this ?
So, we'll go no more a roving So late into the night, Though the heart be still as loving, And the moon be still as bright.
For the sword outwears its sheath, And the soul wears out the breast, And the heart must pause to breathe, And love itself have rest.
Though the night was made for loving, And the day returns too soon, Yet we'll go no more a roving By the light of the moon.
I stood in Venice on the Bridge of Sighs,
A palace and a prison on each hand.
I saw from out the wave her structures rise
As from the stroke of the enchanter's wand:
A thousand years their cloudy wings expand
Around me, and a dying Glory smiles
O'er the far times, when many a subject land
Look'd to the winged Lion's marble piles,
Where Venice sat in state, thron'd on her hundred isles!
NEAR this spot
Are deposited the Remains
of one
Who possessed Beauty
Without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
And all the Virtues of Man
Without his Vices.
This Praise, which would be unmeaning flattery
If inscribed over Human Ashes,
Is but a just tribute to the Memory of
"Boatswain," a Dog
Who was born at Newfoundland,
May, 1803,
And died at Newstead Abbey
Nov. 18, 1808.
